U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords Tuesday announced the White House has agreed to her requests to deploy National Guard troops to the U.S. border with Mexico

A fence would be difficult to manage. Use landmines instead. It’s kept North Korea out of South Korea.
Why of course. And they get an extra big medal if they die during the hostilities. Everyone hopes for one of those... /s
No.

Why don't I believe this?
An administration official confirmed to Fox News that Obama plans to request $500 million for “enhanced border protection and law enforcement” and deploy the National Guard troops as needed.
The official said the National Guard would be used to “provide intelligence; surveillance and reconnaissance support; intelligence analysis; immediate support to counternarcotics enforcement; and training capacity until Customs and Border Patrol can recruit and train additional officers and agents to serve on the border.”
This may be the one time the dems decide it’s a waste of money...?
Probably sent with orders to get the goods on those wicked AZ leo’s.
“Just follow them around and write everything down. We’ll nail down the crimes later.”
My sentiments also. Build the fence that was approved to be built.
What a waste of manpower. They (National Guard) aren’t allowed to do anything. It’s a farce.
And make sure they are told these are the people taking the jobs they won't do.
I went to a National Guard MOS school in Texas. From my observations the Texas National Guard, with some exceptions (like their awesome state competetive shooting team) is the “Army Mexicanos Del Norte.”
What they’ll get is a bunch of “Guard Bum” volunteers to dress up in camo and drive around with a radio, no authority, little training, and no ammunition.
BTW, before you start ripping me on the term “Guard Bum” I retired from the NG with 21 years of service (including 4.5 yrs active duty) A “Guard Bum” is someone that goes from one short term set of orders to another so he/she can make more than unemployment pays without having to find a full time job. Every unit has them, and everyone that’s been in the guard knows who I’m talking about.
This is a pre-text to an Amnesty push before November unless I miss my guess. They need to cram Amnesty, Cap and Trade, and Fin Reg before we get a crack at em in the election.
An electric fence could work. Zap the illegals with enough amps to fly them back to wherever.
Land mines might blow up legitimate Americans. Don’t forget which side of the border they would have to be planted on.
Obama needs to defuse this issue before the elections. Asking for some money for border enforcement and sending a few hundred unarmed Guards to stand around and look good is a way to be seen to “do something” without actually doing anything. But it’s good politics.
Funny as hell...I can't believe nobody else commented on your post.
LOL!
We'll toss their last paychecks over the fence to them.
These appear to be headed for AZ. What about the other border states?
I know Gov. Perry has made numerous requests.
But tunneling under landmines is a bit more hazardous.
